Purify Your Air.

September 25, 2014 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

It happens every year, like clockwork.

On a morning – just like this morning – I will wake up, rub the sleep from my eyes, and swallow. And I will have a tickle at the back of my throat. Later that day, my nose will twitch; my eyes will water. I will understand that the misery of seasonal allergies is upon me, and I will resign myself to weeks (maybe months) of discontent.

It’s a September thing.

Canadians invest $9.1 billion annually in janitorial and sanitation supplies to clean surfaces, remove odours and kill germs with touch-free hand sanitizers – all of which address an issue that does not kill the key contributor to illness from air transmission. And even with all these products, if your child has asthma, there’s a 1 in 4 chance he or she will be heading to hospital in September. Every year, up to 25% of the annual hospital admissions for asthma flare-ups among Canadian children occur in September.

Why? It’s simple – and complicated. With the new school year, so comes some of the most frequent asthma triggers: germs, low use of appropriate asthma medications over the summer months increasing vulnerability, and unventilated classrooms that may contain dust, mould spores and more.

Although I thought allergies were my biggest concern, I’m actually writing this post on the heels of a very disturbing phone call I received from Reid’s school, just this afternoon.

“Mrs. Almeida, we’re concerned Reid has been coughing a lot today, bordering on wheezing.”
“Oh!” I replied. “Well, he was sick recently…”
“Is he asthmatic?” she asked.
“Noooo….” I answered.

And now, of course, I’m wondering if he is. It’s Reid’s first time in a group environment, so naturally he is exposed to germs, allergens and a whole grab bag of potential triggers that I simply did not have to worry about before. I know that most asthma exacerbations are caused from the air we breathe, and the dirty truth is that inside air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. And, we spend an average of 90% of our time indoors. 

A few weeks ago, I hosted the #PurifyYourAir Twitter Party with Fellowes Canada. And the funny thing is, while I enjoyed the benefits of having an air purifier in my home, I wasn’t dependent on it like I am now. At the time, clean, sanitized air was a nice to have. Now it’s a need to have.

The new AeraMax air purifiers are the only such devices in Canada which have been scientifically tested and proven to be Asthma & Allergy Friendly, as certified by the Asthma Society of Canada. At home, we depend on the AeraMax 300 Air Purifier.

The AeraMax line uses a combination of the most effective filtration and cleaning methods as part of a 4-stage filtration process to remove 99.97 per cent of airborne pollutants and articles down to 0.3 microns in size. This level of performance makes it the perfect clean air solution for any space up to 300 square feet.

In addition to a sleek, modern design, cutting-edge technologies provide maximum protection, including:

AeraMax300_Hero_Left– A Four-Stage Purification System, which captures 99.7% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns
– AeraSafe Antimicrobial Treatment that offers built-in protection from the growth of odour causing bacteria, mildew and fungi on True HEPA filter
– An AeraSmart Sensor that monitors the air quality and automatically adjusts the fan speed to keep your air purified. Blue, amber and red lights indicate the purity of your air
– Aera+ Mode, which is designed for peak allergy conditions and increases air flow by up to 50% compared to the lowest speed setting
– Filter Change Indicators that let you know when it’s time to replace your filters
– A Carbon Filter that removes odours and captures large airborne particulates
– A True HEPA Filter that captures the tiniest particles and impurities: mold spores, pollen, dust mites, most airborne microbes, allergens and cigarette smoke

When we first set up the AeraMax 300, it literally ran on high for about a day – characterized by the angry red circle beaming from the unit. (Thankfully, even at its highest setting, it was still relatively quiet.) Then, happily parked in Automatic mode, the unit continued to purify the air in our family room – our most trafficked area – without any intervention from us. Hence, the AeraMax Air Purifier is an authentic “set and forget” kind of thing.

Except I won’t forget it. I won’t forget that the AeraMax is making my air cleaner and safer. It’s helping to relieve asthma and allergy symptoms, removing germs and viruses from the air, and neutralizing odour causing bacteria and mildew. It’s keeping us healthy.

  36. Yasmin Hall

    September 26, 2014 at 1:06 am

    Yes, I used an air purifier in the late eighties. I never noticed a difference and it was very noisy. With today’s technology I am sure they are so much better. I would love to try one now as I have grown into allergies and very sensitive to dust mites.

  37. Lynn L

    September 26, 2014 at 1:24 am

  52. Wanda Tracey

    September 26, 2014 at 11:23 am

  53. amber y

    September 26, 2014 at 12:03 pm

    We’ve never used an air purifier because we never thought we needed one, but it’s something that we’ve been looking into purchasing recently.

  54. Victoria Ess

    September 26, 2014 at 12:25 pm

    September 26, 2014 at 3:16 pm

    no, never owned one before

  62. Florence C

    September 26, 2014 at 4:04 pm

  63. marissa

    September 26, 2014 at 4:08 pm

    No, I have never used one and my husband has allergies so we definitely need one.

  64. Angela Mitchell

    September 26, 2014 at 5:08 pm

    Yes we used an air purifier. My husband has seasonal allergies and asthma so at some times of the year he uses an air purifier to try and help.

  65. elaing8

    September 26, 2014 at 6:29 pm

    No I haven’t used one before. I just never thought to use one. But after reading this post I would love to win one.

  66. Shirley OFlynn

    September 26, 2014 at 7:36 pm

    I have not used an air purifier before because I was not informed about the benefits.

  67. Flora M

    September 26, 2014 at 8:38 pm

    I had an air purifier once, it wasn’t noisy but when I had to replace the filter, they weren’t available anymore (or it would have cost me more money for a special order replacement filter than to buy a whole new unit. So I bought another one, and it was so noisy I couldn’t hear myself think (and it didn’t work very well) – so I gave up on them.

  68. lisa bolduc

    September 26, 2014 at 8:56 pm

    I did when I lived at my moms house. I don’t have one at my house

  69. BobbiJo Pentney

    September 26, 2014 at 10:18 pm

    I tried an Air purifier that we had bought off of Kijiji but it just blue air and did not cleanse properly.

  70. Amy C

    September 26, 2014 at 11:06 pm

    Yes, we have because my daughter has asthma.

  71. J

    September 26, 2014 at 11:24 pm

    I might have but I can’t recall when exactly. They just never seem to be effective. Also, they were generally loud.

  72. Silvia D

    September 26, 2014 at 11:26 pm

    I have never used one but would like to. The price stopped me from buying one

  73. Heidi C.

    September 26, 2014 at 11:44 pm

    I have never used an air purifier before but I think it would be helpful with my little guy’s wheezing and Mommy’s allergies.

  74. MrDisco

    September 26, 2014 at 11:46 pm

    i have not due to the cost

  75. Pam

    September 27, 2014 at 6:30 am

    Yes I had one up until it broke about a year ago.
    I suffer from allergies and sinusitis and used it to help prevent symptoms

  76. Darlene Schuller

    September 27, 2014 at 7:27 am

    I haven’t used one. We are looking to purchase 2 at this time… I have copd and 70% usage of my lungs, my respirologist recommends using purifiers at this point.

  77. Athena

    September 27, 2014 at 9:31 am

    I haven’t tried one yet

  78. Donnas

    September 27, 2014 at 11:02 am

    No I’ve not used an air purifier, but I would consider it because lately a few of us have suffered from allergy-like symptoms.

  79. Juliee Fitze

    September 27, 2014 at 1:29 pm

    Yes I use one in my bedroom.

  80. Rosanne Robinson

    September 27, 2014 at 1:46 pm

    I’ve never had an air purifier, just used a humidifier, but definitely need one to help me through my asthma attacks.

  81. Robert Wise

    September 27, 2014 at 2:00 pm

    I’ve used one before; I have cats and I have allergies.

  82. Faisal

    September 27, 2014 at 4:14 pm

    No. Come what may.

  83. christina barany

    September 27, 2014 at 4:30 pm

    yes I have used one. I kept it in my daughters room as she had asthma. She outgrew it, but my house is a huge dust bunnie no matter how much I dust and she sneezes alot. I new air purifier is in order!

  84. Tanya Grosz

    September 27, 2014 at 4:57 pm

    No, never had one but have been in a home with one and there is a difference in the air quality. They were always too expensive and I couldn’t afford to buy one.

  85. Rachel Rueff

    September 27, 2014 at 5:01 pm

    I have one but not sure that is all that good. would like to compare with this one, and the other one is my mom’s she might want to use or sell hers.

  86. Ivan Plumridge

    September 27, 2014 at 5:21 pm

    Have one, but it doesn’t purity to this degree – sure would help the hubby get through his allergy season problems.

  87. Jeannie Smyth

    September 27, 2014 at 5:44 pm

    I have never used an air purifier just because I haven’t had the money to afford one. I was in a bad car crash over 20 years ago that has left me unable to work and chronically ill. I would love to try one as I’m sure that it would probably do wonders for my health problems.

  88. Gillian

    September 27, 2014 at 5:54 pm

    I have been using an air purifier for the last few years because i think it helps my breathing.

  89. Theresa A

    September 27, 2014 at 6:13 pm

    I haven’t used an air purifier, but I think I should. With allergies, asthma, and pets, I could sure use one. I do have an inhaler.

  90. Dianne Arsenault

    September 27, 2014 at 9:15 pm

    No I’ve never felt I needed one before now

  91. Piroska

    September 27, 2014 at 9:16 pm

    I have used one, but it was so huge and ugly and the filters cost more to replace than most purifiers!

  92. Elaine Buonsante

    September 28, 2014 at 2:23 am

    I have never used an air purifier but am in the market for one. Thanks for your review.

  93. Judy Williams

    September 28, 2014 at 10:48 am

    We have a built in filter in our heat pump but it is definitely not an air purifier – this sounds like an ideal set up for folks with allergies like me!

  94. Jennpup (@jennpup)

    September 28, 2014 at 11:12 am

    I’ve used one in my son’s room, for air cleaning and ‘white noise’ to help him sleep.

  95. Amanda

    September 28, 2014 at 11:36 am

    I’ve never really considered using one before but after reading your comments, I really think that my family and I would benefit from this.

  96. dh

    September 28, 2014 at 12:56 pm

    No we’ve never owned a purifier. It would be a good addition to the home.

  97. Roger Williams

    September 28, 2014 at 1:26 pm

    We have filters on our heat pump and on the HRV that help alleviate some of my wife’s problems, but this seems to be something that would improve her condition a lot more.

  98. Karine

    September 28, 2014 at 2:30 pm

    I haven’t, I’ve been at someone’s place that had one and I would really like to have one!

  99. Audrey Skinner

    September 28, 2014 at 5:36 pm

    I have not used an air purifier but my niece uses one to help with her asthma.

    we do not have an air purifier, but my mom needs one for her musty basement

  101. Nina Murray

    September 28, 2014 at 8:23 pm

    We had one in our home as kids – mom has asthma

  102. Heather

    September 28, 2014 at 9:02 pm

    No, I have never used an air purifier, but would like to try one, please.

  103. Jonnie

    September 28, 2014 at 9:28 pm

    I haven’t used one because I’m not sure how well they work but I would love to try one. We all have allergies at my house.

  104. Julie Bolduc

    September 28, 2014 at 10:08 pm

    I never used one but I really should

  105. leanne

    September 28, 2014 at 10:20 pm

    I haven’t used one but I should with my daughter’s asthma.

  106. Jodi Mitrovic

    September 28, 2014 at 10:26 pm

    I’ve never used an air purifier in our home. I’ve never really thought about all the benefits that come from them. I just deal with sneezing and coughing! This new Fellowes Air Purifier gives me something to think about!

  107. ivy pluchinsky

    September 28, 2014 at 11:37 pm

    I have never used one before, but after that twitter party I attended it is on my Christmas list.

  108. Bons

    September 29, 2014 at 1:17 am

    I’ve never used one before because I never got around to buying one and didn’t think it could help my allergies.

  109. Debbie

    September 29, 2014 at 1:58 am

    I have used humidifiers when both my daughters were born. We wanted to keep the air clean for them so they can breathe good. We still use it whenever we sneeze a lot and just to be healthy. You have to keep changing the filter every time. We are hop in to get a better quality humidifier.

  110. tanyab79

    September 29, 2014 at 6:19 am

    I sure have and with three cats I think it is necessary.

  111. Michelle

    September 29, 2014 at 9:17 am

    would use int my girls’ room, and maybe they wouldn’t get the sniffles so often

  112. Stuart Roberts

    September 29, 2014 at 9:44 am

    Great prize even if you don’t have breathing problems

  113. SCOTT HAYES

    September 29, 2014 at 1:08 pm

    my brother needs one because he had the H1N1 flu last year and anything weird in the air sets him off coughing.

  114. Cheryl Almas

    September 29, 2014 at 3:19 pm

    Yes and I have allergies, realize that I really should have a good one.

  119. angela m

    September 30, 2014 at 11:56 am

    No I have never used one because I never looked into getting one.

  120. Janet M

    September 30, 2014 at 1:56 pm

    I have in my daughter’s room as she has allergies.

  121. Holly Wright

    September 30, 2014 at 3:21 pm

    we have not used one just because we have not had the funds to buy one

  122. Chandra Christine O'Connor

    September 30, 2014 at 4:11 pm

  123. Sylvia

    September 30, 2014 at 4:25 pm

    I have used one in the past but since it broke down, we have not bought another one.

  124. Lynda Cook

    September 30, 2014 at 5:27 pm

    No, I have never really thought about using or getting an air cleaner, but I should, considering my hubby smokes and I have 3 large dogs

  125. Tracy Saddul

    September 30, 2014 at 6:53 pm

    I have used an air purifier when my son was little and suffered from allergies.

  126. George M

    September 30, 2014 at 8:30 pm

    Yes when my daughter was a baby.

  127. Kimberley Y

    September 30, 2014 at 10:12 pm

    I could really use this as I live next to heavy smokers.

  128. Lisa Smith

    September 30, 2014 at 10:47 pm

    We use une that is also a humidifier.

  129. Melanie B

    September 30, 2014 at 10:54 pm

    I haven’t but I have always wanted one.. would help I think with cats in the house

  130. Rhonda W G.

    October 1, 2014 at 8:29 am

    I use one downstairs but I do think having one upstairs would be helpful too…

  131. jennifer capin

    October 1, 2014 at 8:40 am

    Yes, hoping to clean the air but mine is not very good.

  132. Jennifer P.

    October 2, 2014 at 1:57 am

    I have never used an air purifier because it is not something I have had extra money to spend on.

  133. Carol Denny

    October 2, 2014 at 9:13 am

    Yes I have one in my bedroom. I have allergies

  134. Adriana F

    October 2, 2014 at 9:37 am

    I have never used one because I have honestly never thought about it before. It would probably be helpful with my family’s allergies though.

  135. Dreena

    October 2, 2014 at 10:26 am

    No, I’ve never had one (never thought to get one) but maybe it’s time to change that!
    Thanks.

  136. Terri O'Donnell

    October 2, 2014 at 9:09 pm

    Yes, I used one for my allergies when I was pregnant with my son, but it was damaged when our basement flooded

  137. Branka Stefanovic

    October 2, 2014 at 9:45 pm

    Never thought I had a need for one. After learning more about it, I want one.

  138. Suzanne G

    October 3, 2014 at 1:02 pm

    I have never used an air purifier as I really never realized they could actually help with removing irritants.

  139. Lee-Ann

    October 4, 2014 at 2:42 pm

    My daughter and I both have asthma. We used to have an air purifier, but it broke years ago.

  140. Belinda McNabb

    October 4, 2014 at 4:23 pm

    I have never used one because I never learned until recently of all the benefits of having one

  141. Heidi Pawluk

    October 4, 2014 at 6:03 pm

    This would be a welcome addition to our home. Think I am developing alergies from my beagles. Keep sneezing non-stop whenever I am near him or his kennel…eeeek

  142. Julie Farmer

    October 4, 2014 at 6:17 pm

    I have never used one before but am seriously thinking about getting one as my allergies have been particularly bad this year!

  143. Andrew P

    October 5, 2014 at 12:37 am

    Yes I have, I suffer from allergies

  144. Jason Quarrie

    October 5, 2014 at 12:40 am

    Humidifier and dehumidifier, but never purifier! Never had any issues…but want to see if this really improves quality of air and life!

  145. Julia Herperger

    October 5, 2014 at 9:03 am

    Yes, I’ve used one in the past for my allergies. I need a new one, though! My old one is so old that I can’t seem to find the filters for it anymore, and the filter I have is over-used and full of junk, and useless.

  146. loucheryl

    October 5, 2014 at 5:40 pm

    I have never used one but have thought about it. The expense is the reason for not buying one.

  147. louise l

    October 5, 2014 at 9:21 pm

    I have never used one, they are to expensive.

  148. Stephanie LaPlante

    October 6, 2014 at 3:25 pm

    I haven’t but really need one. I have allergies, asthma & pets.

  149. Jacqueline Sampson

    October 6, 2014 at 4:31 pm

    No I actually haven’t; but I would love to try as I am asthmatic

  150. Lisa McLain

    October 6, 2014 at 6:47 pm

    Never used one

  151. S Parolin

    October 6, 2014 at 7:14 pm

    I have used a low end air purifier for my son’s room. Could totally use a better quality one!

  152. Maria McLachlan

    October 6, 2014 at 8:39 pm

    No I’ve never used one. Haven’t been able to justify expense, not knowing much about and which one to buy etc.

  153. Sunshine Hanan

    October 6, 2014 at 11:25 pm

    I haven’t tried one b/c I haven’t been able to afford one to see if it would help or not.

  154. Mark Cook

    October 7, 2014 at 4:13 am

    i tried a used one for a short period, it didnt last long but i noticed a difference.

  155. Angie

    October 7, 2014 at 6:11 pm

    I have not used one, simply because I don’t really know much about them. Thanks for sharing about them.

  160. Amber F

    October 9, 2014 at 3:29 am

    I’ve never used an air purifier but only because we can’t afford one…we definitely need one though with 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a husband who has seasonal allergies!

  161. SweetPanda

    October 9, 2014 at 10:51 am

    We have never used one because it seems very pricey and we don’t know which one is effective

  162. Janice

    October 9, 2014 at 8:38 pm

    No, but probably wouldn’t hurt to have one!

  163. Kawaii

    October 10, 2014 at 1:30 am

    I have asthma…this will help.

  164. Marlene

    October 10, 2014 at 1:16 pm

    Have you ever used an air purifier? No
    Why or why not? no money but would love to get this for my mom who has asthma. This would help her

  165. Cindy Winstone

    October 10, 2014 at 9:03 pm

    I would love one for my children’s room!

  166. l p

    October 10, 2014 at 10:27 pm

    no – never occurred to me that it was needed. thanks

  167. cheryl

    October 11, 2014 at 8:55 pm

    I have never used one because I never really thought we needed one but I know after the twitter party and research that we need one!

  168. Nancy J Montgomery

    October 11, 2014 at 11:56 pm

    I’ve never used one for financial reasons.

  169. Betty Spry

    October 12, 2014 at 1:32 pm

    I have never used and air purifier, as it was always too expensive

  170. Vivian S

    October 12, 2014 at 2:53 pm

    No because its expensive

  171. Megan F.

    October 12, 2014 at 7:43 pm

    We had a really cheap one, we never knew if it really worked or not, since it didn’t smell any different. Then it died, so we don’t have one any more.

    • Megan F.

      October 12, 2014 at 7:43 pm

      We had one because our neighbours smoke, so we thought anything would help with any asthma or anything like that.

  172. Darrah Bailey

    October 13, 2014 at 9:54 am

    No I havent but I should be. We have pur room in a basement and I could use this

  173. Brenda Penton

    October 14, 2014 at 6:01 am

    I’ve never used one before. I’ve been thinking about getting one for my son’s allergies

  174. KittyPride

    October 14, 2014 at 1:26 pm

    Yes when I was babysitting, great help to get rid of allergy triggers

  175. WestCoastMom

    October 14, 2014 at 4:44 pm

    Never thought of using one. Your article has given me lots to ponder about the air quality at school and at home.

  176. lucy

    October 14, 2014 at 9:47 pm

    No I have not used one, it was not in our budget

  177. Gina Alderman

    October 15, 2014 at 12:16 am

    We have not used and air purifier yet but I’ve definitely considered one strongly before. My partner suffers from year long allergies, and with our young child I always feel worried when we have so little control over the air quality of our apartment building. Would love to see if this helps our problems!

  178. Cindy Oliver

    October 15, 2014 at 1:38 pm

    I have never used an air purifier but we need one as I think my son may have allergies/asthma due to being born 4 months premature. He sounds wheezy at times like your son.

  179. kari

    October 15, 2014 at 10:27 pm

    This would be great for all the people with allergies in my house

  180. SueSueper

    October 16, 2014 at 12:45 pm

    I have one running in my bedroom every night. It makes a difference for allergies and helps keep away colds.

  181. Brenda I Lacourciere

    October 16, 2014 at 3:52 pm

    yes for my kids health

  182. lori b

    October 16, 2014 at 10:13 pm

    i have never used one, but told we should have one for allergies in the home

  183. Shawna Chapman

    October 17, 2014 at 1:40 am

    Yes I have used an air purifier before. My aunt was diagnosed with cancer and it fell upon me to look after to her. This entailed me to have to move in with her but she smoked like a chimney and in order for me to be able to stay with her I had to borrow an air purifier from a friend. My aunt has since passed away and of course I gave my friend back the purifier. Now my husband smokes and we have our grand daughter here quite often. Having an air purifier in my home would give me a better piece of mind.

  184. Kelley T

    October 18, 2014 at 2:06 am

    This would be perfect!

  185. Belinda Swim

    October 18, 2014 at 10:46 am

    My son had breathing problems when he was a baby so I had one in his bedroom

  186. Marla

    October 19, 2014 at 8:11 am

    We havent because we never really thought about it

  187. Wendy hutton

    October 19, 2014 at 10:44 pm

    no I never have, but sounds like a good idea, we live behind an industrial park and who knows what is coming out of there

  188. Tiffany Wilson

    October 19, 2014 at 11:37 pm

    Never but I honestly think about making the investment all the time.

  189. Nicole

    October 20, 2014 at 12:27 am

    I haven’t used one before but with the amount of dust I’ve been finding at home I think it’s time to invest in one.

  190. Kandace cook

    October 20, 2014 at 7:50 am

    No, I have never used one before.

  191. Carole B.

    October 20, 2014 at 8:10 am

    No i have never, it was not a priority at the time

  192. kristen visser

    October 20, 2014 at 12:15 pm

    no we havent but definitely would like to!

  193. Holly Messana

    October 21, 2014 at 1:52 pm

    I have not but would love to try

  194. Erin M.

    October 22, 2014 at 12:56 pm

    I have not because I have not found one at an affordable price

  195. Sara Rai

    October 23, 2014 at 3:26 am

    I havent, but would love to try.

  196. Debbie W

    October 23, 2014 at 6:58 am

    No I haven’t. Never thought about needing one.

  197. Katie Coupland

    October 25, 2014 at 9:41 am

    I haven’t used an air purifier because it hasn’t been in the budget.

  198. suzi

    October 26, 2014 at 11:57 pm

    No because of price
